11:28 am Stock Photos of Women Looking Remorseful after Sexual Encounters.

11:31 am Listened to Field Music’s Plumb. Looking for a certain riff I can’t get out of my head. 

11:41 am House GOP Memo: “Abortion Is the Leading Cause of Death in the Black. Community”: “[A House GOP memo] argues for a controversial “prenatal discrimination bill” by referring to “black abortions” as distinct from abortions in general and claiming that “abortion is the leading cause of death in the black community.” Despicable. 

11:49 am Circling back with Ai Wei Wei“The European adaption of Asian aesthetics is known as chinoiserie, a term derived from the French word chinois (Chinese) that denotes a type of European art influenced by Asian styles. Often the Western version of Asia was quite imaginative, based more on fantasy than reality.”  A part of me likes the European re-imagining of Asian aesthetics more than Asian aesthetics themselves.

10:07 pm Hit Record - Open Salon.“We’ve also — completely against the trend — slowed down our process. We’ve tried to work longer on stories for greater impact, and publish fewer quick-takes that we know you can consume elsewhere. We’re actually publishing, on average, roughly one-third fewer posts on Salon than we were a year ago (from 848 to 572 in December; 943 to 602 in January). So: 33 percent fewer posts; 40 percent greater traffic.”

10:14 pm Hollywood by the Numbers. “The conclusion from this data might be that Hollywood does not change all that much in terms of who makes the money. But that itself is a symptom of a deeper reality: that there is little that changes at all. We can even perhaps hypothesize that there is no business model innovation taking place. Any such innovation is usually manifested in a reversal of fortunes for incumbents.”

10:16 pm Crafting Azeroth.
